My crocheting journey 🐣

Hi everyone🤗

It's my story 😄

I hope you guys enjoy😅

Knitting used to be synonymous with a hobby that was often done by the elderly. However, recently these activities are also in demand by young people. This activity has many benefits. Several studies have shown that knitting can increase creativity, prevent stress, reduce anxiety, prevent senility, train focus and accuracy.

There are 2 techniques in knitting:

First, knitting refers to the technique of knitting using a 2 hook needle.

Second, Crocheting refers to the technique of knitting using a 1 hook needle.

Now, crocheting is technique what teenagers are interested in because it's easier to practice. The tools used for crocheting are very easy to get such as hook needle, threads and scissor. On September 11, 2022, I bought these tools through a friend's online shopping application account. I'm interested in crocheting because I saw my roommate crocheting and it looks really fun. While waiting for my order to arrive I saw crocheting tutorials for beginners on youtube and tiktok. The tutorial looks very easy. I can't wait for the crocheting tools that I ordered to arrive and wanna learn to crochet immediately.

The day I've been waiting for has arrived. The item I ordered arrived on September 14, 2022. I immediately opened the package to try and reproduce what I saw from the turorial. Unfortunately, expectations don't match reality. It turns out that crocheting is quite difficult, especially since my hands are still not used to holding the hook needle. My boarding friend tried to teach me. But I seem to be very confused and my hands are still stiff when crocheting. She encouraged me to keep trying to practice the knitting techniques I've seen before. I've been trying all day but it's still not working. That day I gave up and decided to continue my crocheting practice the next day.

The sun began to show its rays I tried again to crochet. At first I was tired and slowly my hands got used to how to crochet, I was very happy about it. I started crocheting a small bag for my cellphone.

I faced many challenges while crocheting. This reminds me of when I first learned to paint. I've always been afraid to start something new. But luckily I have good people around me who always worry about me and help me to get out of my comfort zone. Finally I finished my crocheting within a week because my cousin got married and I didn't have time to crochet.

And this is detail of my crocheting result :
